Wrong Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although the Sonos sound bar was highly recommended for the 85” TV I purchased, after it was installed, it did not work. A call to the Spectrum Cable Company advised us Sonos does not work with Spectrum.

Don’t buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited and the SONOS Ray felt very short of my expectations. I was replacing a Samsung sound bar so did a before and after test. The 2 year old sound bar was bette and much cheaper. I returned the Ray and purchased the Beam. Much happy!

Great and Small Speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for bells and whistles, look at a higher price range. This is a very basic sound bar that sounds extremely good. It has all the options needed for streaming over Wi-Fi or optical from TV. There is also an ethernet port on the back. Your connection options are very limited. There is no Bluetooth, so the initial setup is done over Wi-Fi. I would highly recommend checking for updates immediately, the process is much smoother after the first update. You get access to the Sonos Radio, along with streaming whatever you like over Wi-Fi. When connected to the TV the install instructs you to turn off the internal speakers on the TV, it does not look like there is a way to sync audio to the internal TV speaker timing. Using the digital audio input the sound is fantastic. You will only get the forward sound, but the speaker has no problem filling the room with your chosen audio. There are two woofers and two tweeters based on the specs. This speaker is fantastic for a small apartment or a game/family room. I can see people using this as a speaker only as it sounds so good. Sonos has hit another home run. The size of the speaker is about 22 inches at the front and 20 inches at the back. The top controls are centered. I figure this is good to know if you plan on sliding it into a opening under the TV. It is a little more that 2 3/4 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches tall at the back. Roughly 3 3/4 inches deep.
